Daisy Edgar-Jones feels 'proud' of her sex scenes

Daisy Edgar-Jones feels "proud" of her sex scenes with Paul Mescal in \'Normal People\'.

The 21-year-old actress stars alongside Paul, 24, in the hit drama series - which is based on Sally Rooney\'s novel of the same name - and Daisy has admitted to particularly liking her sex scenes with her co-star.

The actress - who plays Marianne Sheridan on the show - told the \'How To Fail\' podcast: "That\'s one of the things I\'m most proud of in the whole series is that sense of equality between Paul and I, and is the representation of intimacy between Marianne and Connell.

"I remember before the show actually aired, I had a few nasty comments on my Instagram because it was talked about a lot that there was to be quite a few raunchy scenes.

"I remember reading that because I thought it was interesting because I don\'t really think of those scenes as raunchy or explicit because I really don\'t think they are."

Daisy thinks the general attitude towards the drama series - and her sex scenes - has changed over time.

She continued: "I remember seeing those comments and thinking, \'Oh gosh, am I going to get a lot of flack for doing those scenes and for having nudity?\' But since the show has come out, I have had nothing.

"None of my friends have even mentioned the strangeness of watching because I think those scenes are done so beautifully by Lenny (Abrahamson, who directed the first six episodes) and by Hetti (Macdonald), who directed the second block, and by all the creatives. I\'m so proud of them."
